Description

READ FAQ BEFORE ASK (i will not answer FAQ questions anymore. I just delete your notification.)  


Also READ COMMENTS BEFORE ASK(most problems answered there too. I really have no time to support this app anymore)  




Warning: No more updates.  This app stays as it is now. Why? Because Flash is essentially dead now. Browsers stop to support it etc. I might be create a HTML5 version of this app IF deviantART let us upload web apps in the future (as Newgrounds does). Until then this stays without any further improvements or updates. Thank you for all your comments and support I got for this app. It was a pleasure. I will respond and help as I can. This will not change. It changed I just do not fix anything in the app, also I do not add any new features after this.


Warning 2.0: With the new deviantart design called Eclipse this app will die along with the whole custom background code community for sure.

 
This little app generate Custom Box Background code after you provide an image url to it. This is the easiest way to get HTML code that makes your profile look awesome.

Tutorial video: youtu.be/WNnUhSB6QPQ

You can check preview after you generated code. Pressing CTRL+C (or CMD+C if you are Mac user) button will automatically copy the code for you, so you can paste it in the custom box.


Commissions are not open for code! (I edited this part so it tells "not" for everything Years ago it wasn't "not" )
For some reason you can't use this app? I will not send you the the code for 30 points. Do not check the commissions out on my profile pages's right side.  I will not accept your commission if you provide me all the info I need and you are a Core user.
 (I stopped doing that too  )

Mobile Users and people without Flash player (This is dead too)
Here is the mobile version for you:  customboxgenerator.nikhazy-diz…

You can add it to home screen too, as this is a mobile web app.
(I lost my server once, couldn't recover it and too much time to remake it  )

You do not have to buy to use it BUT you can buy to support me => (not anymore. Thank you for all the support)

Do you wanted to support me? On the right there was a small custom box background image pack (25 images in a zip file). In the past you clicked the Purchase button on the right. Want preview? Check this out: sta.sh/0qtpybyf6ej But consider this: I do not support this app anymore, so I do not really expect you to support me.
(i no longer accept your points for an app and deviantArt feature that is dead)

FAQ

  • It isn't look good with featured images, ID, donation etc.  Yeah. Because this works best with custom box widget. In any other cases there will be bugs like hidden content, spaces between content and top of widgets etc. There are workarounds for these but they will be still far from perfect.


  • How to get Image URL?: www.wikihow.com/Get-the-URL-fo…


  • I am not a Core user. Will it work for me? Nope. This works only for Core users.

  • Background image doesn't repeat This isn't an error. This is how it is. You must use a wide and tall image to cover all the background. (Update: As from v1.7.4 it is possible to repeat image vertically.) This is not an officially supported feature, so it is far from perfect.


  • Background image doesn't fill the box horizontally It is because you use a too small image. To understand this better try to resize the window and see how the layout changes, you will see eventually it will fill it. The minimum recommended width for the image to use is 1000px. That fills the background even on bigger screens. There are no other way for this. 

  • Does this work at Groups? Not perfectly. At groups the image will push the content down. So you can use small image as header or something, but not as background.

  • I am an Internet Explorer user. I don't have "copy image url" at right click. What to do? First of all: Don't be an Internet Explorer user. It is bad for your and your computer's health. But if you want to continue to be one, you should write a comment with an URL to the page that contains the image you want to use and I will give you the image URL.
    (Update: As from v1.8.0 it is possible get IMG URL in the app itself if the image is on deviantART or sta.sh. If you still have problems comment)

  • It hides donation button. What to do? Put several line breaks (press lot of enters in the text) before the last tag so the button is "pushed downwards". At donation polls it is a good idea to use low but wide image, so it only hides the donation amount.


  • How do I replace the hidden featured image? You put the image's :thumbXYZ: code in the text OR you use the  HTML tag also in the text. Where the a "width" parameter will change the width of the image and you should set it so you are happy with the result (thank you for kissingcyanide for pointing this out). Without the width parameter the image can be too big and appear strangely hidden on the sides.

  • There is a space on top of featured image widget: Set the view to "Normal view". There will be still a space at the top. But this is as close as you get. Remember the first FAQ.

I simply do not get your questiont so I just say this:

You can use this for custom box widget perfectly and other widgets like donation and favs  etc a little buggy. This will give background image for those widgets on your profile. But if you give me an example or explain what do you mean by "background wallpaper" I am here to help / answer.

NAkos In reply to CremeCup [2014-12-26 17:49:54 +0000 UTC]

Go in the favourites widget's edit mode and set the view to thumbnail and to show only one image. I am not sure but that might help a little.

NAkos In reply to CremeCup [2014-12-26 09:47:20 +0000 UTC]

you don't. Background image works for Custom boxes perfectly. Any other widget will be buggy. You can use the codes text area to emulate the original content of given widget but it will be never perfect.

NAkos In reply to CremeCup [2014-12-26 16:34:12 +0000 UTC]

In the code you see a "TEXT / THUMBS " or something like this in the code. That is where you can put your own content.

Sorry for saying this but you just provided a local URL from your computer. There is no way I can see this image, as it is on your computer, this address only lives on your computer. If you want to show me image upload it to somewhere and link it from there.

NAkos In reply to CremeCup [2014-12-26 16:59:27 +0000 UTC]

in the flash app you click "text background" after you generated the code so the code change like that.

Hey! this is a great tool!
but I was just wondering why the image does not go from edge to edge of the box? but is centered instead...
Am I doing something wrong?

Go on my profile to see what I mean...

Thanks in advance!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

NAkos In reply to NaviWavi [2014-12-23 10:51:52 +0000 UTC]

This is natural. As this is just a HTML hack we do not have control over how the image shows and where it is. That is why I wrote that people should use at least 1000px image in width.  Try resize the window and you will see that in smaller window the custom box width is smaller too so it looks like the image fills it up. An 1000px wide image will fill the custom box even in higher resolution screens too.

NaviWavi In reply to NAkos [2014-12-23 11:10:10 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I see!
Thank you! Ill play around with it..

Although it is kinda weird that my image is over 3000 pixels in width but still doesn't fill the whole box...

But Thank you!

NAkos In reply to NaviWavi [2014-12-23 11:20:51 +0000 UTC]

NAkos In reply to dogwifi [2014-12-23 07:33:20 +0000 UTC]

As italic comes with the text background, as this things works by hijacking other deviantART designs, it got all of its design.
